The end of the year is a time to reflect and celebrate the work we've done, including bringing on student research assistants. We've done a lot this year, looking at homelessness, bail bonds, refugee resettlement, and more. You can read our work at policyinstitute.iu.edu/news-media/ind…

We were thrilled to connect with students at the 2023 @IUPUI Annual International Festival, presented by @IUPUIglobal. We provided information on our research areas, how to apply for positions later this year, and were able to network with faculty & other policy adjacent groups.

This week is Student Employee Appreciation Week and we want to recognize our incredible CRISP student research assistants. All week, we'll highlight the six students who help make #CRISPresearch happen, while learning valuable lessons they can use in their future careers!

"At CRISP, I am contributing to meaningful work by addressing inequalities and systemic issues, by looking at the world through an equity lens. I also get opportunities to learn about lived experiences of people from diverse backgrounds!" -Sreemayi Rapolu, Research Assistant

Today for Student Employee Appreciation Week, we're highlighting Marissa Eckert. She provides #CRISPresearch with valuable help with designing our reports and policy briefs. We're grateful to have students from so many majors contributing to the work and mission of CRISP.

"The work I have been able to do at CRISP has been impactful—I have learned a great deal about what it means to be involved in policy analysis and research. I am also grateful to work with a dedicated, passionate team." -Hannah Mullin Hannah

"When CRISP isn't helping Indy organizations improve their services, they're publishing briefs about issues we're all talking about because we feel their effects. CRISP's publications are always easy to read and make me feel the issues in Indiana aren't too big to handle."

"Working at CRISP allows me to learn about experiences and topics I would not learn about anywhere else. I am able to apply my course work to community engaged research that puts an emphasis on equity and further my understanding of my home community." - Ted Deitz

"CRISP's work helps our local communities and matters greatly. I'm very grateful for my time here because I better understand topics and, public policy processes, and improved my overall foundational skills." - Cheyenne Morris @_localchailatte

We were thrilled to host our inaugural CRISP Student Research Symposium last week! Our student researchers gave presentations to IU Public Policy Institute, @ONeill_Indy, & Indiana FSSA staff on legislation concerning food insecurity, addressing homelessness, & LGBTQ+ youth. #CRISPresearch

CRISP staff spent the day at IndianaMPH Data Day, networking with state agencies, highlighting #CRISPResearch, & presenting information on the benefits of utilizing qualitative data to further contextualize quantitative data. Learn more about our work at policyinstitute.iu.edu/centers/crisp/…

The CRISP team was excited to attend today's launch event for IU Indianapolis! We're thrilled to be part of this new era for the Indy campus and to help support the nation's premiere urban research institution through our work with the community.

As part of National Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week with IU Indianapolis' Division of Student Affairs, CRISP Policy Analyst Brendan Bow & former CRISP staffer (now Outreach Indiana) Kelsie Stringham-Marquis spoke about addressing student homelessness & housing insecurity.

Students at O'Neill School at IU Indianapolis are contributing important information and research to city leaders as they gain hands-on experience with IU Public Policy Institute. Read how their work is benefitting students and Indianapolis at bit.ly/40avdoo.
